   I have some ideas about possibly decoding cetacean acoustics   
   using geophysical signal processing techniques.   
      
   Also, in my current (I will try again tomorrow night at the   
   exact time of new/dark moon) global new age onset   
   magickal workings, there will be sudden magickal   
   physical evolution, including of current adults.   
      
   Who and what will evolve? Currently pathogenic viruses,   
   currently pathogenic bacteria, homo sapiens+720 aliens,   
   cetaceans, non-human simians, dogs, cats, non-simian   
   primates, elephants, the rest of mammals, corvids,   
   psittacines, octopi, and   
   Chinese dragons/sea serpents/lake serpents (if they exist).   
      
   Of relevance to this thread, all of the multi-cellular   
   DNA-based species that will evolve will get two   
   language genes---one currently held by   
   homo sapiens+720 aliens and one currently held   
   by cetaceans.   
      
   Of course if this fails again as usual, you can look   
   at this as speculative fiction. :-)
